Botcinins E and F were isolated together with the known botcinolide. The structures of botcinins E and F were determined to be 3-O-deacetylbotcinin A (5) and 3-O-deacetyl-2-epi-botcinin A (6), respectively, by spectroscopic methods and chemical conversion. The structure of botcinolide was revised on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical conversion. Botcinolide was originally reported as a nine-membered lactone (7), but the revised structure is the seco acid of botcinin E (13). Thus botcinolide is renamed botcinic acid, and homobotcinolide is renamed botcineric acid. Reinvestigation of the spectroscopic data reported for all botcinolide analogues indicates that 4-O-methylbotcinolide and 3-O-acetyl-2epibotcinolide are the same as a methyl ester of botcinic acid (13a) and botcinin A (1), respectively, and that 2-epibotcinolide may be the same as botcinin E (5). Compounds 5, 6, and 13 showed weak antifungal activity against Magnaporthe grisea, a pathogen of rice blast disease. Botrytis cinerea is a well-known pathogen of a number of commercial plants and produces many structurally diverse metabolites, such as botrydials,1-7 mycosporines,8-10 botrylactone,11,12 abscisic acid,13 cinereain,14 and botcinolides.15-18 Recently, we reported the isolation of botcinins A-D (1-4), which show antifungal activity against Magnaporthe grisea, a pathogen of rice blast disease, from the neutral fraction of a culture filtrate of a strain (AEM 211) of B. cinerea.19 The botcinins’ structures are comprised of a unique bicyclic unit and a fatty acyl portion. Our continuing search for new botcinins among metabolites in an acidic fraction obtained from the culture filtrate of the same fungus resulted in isolation of three anisaldehyde-positive substances. Two of them were determined to be 3-O-deacetylbotcinin A (5) and 3-O-deacetyl2-epi-botcinin A (6), named botcinins E and F, respectively, and one was identified as botcinolide.15,16 However the chemical behavior of botcinolide was not in accordance with the reported structure. Further analysis through chemical reactions allowed us to revise the structure. Botcinolide (7) was first reported in 1993.15 The structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic studies, suggesting that botcinolide had a nine-membered lactone ring and a fatty acyl portion.15,16 The relative stereochemistry, except for C-4′, was proposed on the basis of the NOE correlations, the coupling constant, and molecular modeling.16 To date, homobotcinolide (8), 4-O-methylbotcinolide (9), 3-O-acetyl-5-O-methylbotcinolide (10), 2-epibotcinolide (11), and 3-O-acetyl-2-epibotcinolide (12) have been reported as botcinolide analogues.17,18 Their structures were determined only by comparison of their MS and NMR data with those reported for 7. We carefully reinvestigated the spectroscopic data reported for all botcinolide analogues and revised the structures of 4-O-methylbotcinolide and 3-O-acetyl-2-epibotcinolide as a result. In this paper, we report the isolation and structure elucidation of two new botcinin A analogues, botcinins E (5) and F (6), and the structural revision of botcinolide (7) and 2-epibotcinolide (11). Furthermore, we discuss the validity of structures of the other botcinolide analogues. The antifungal activities of 5, 6, and 13 against Magnaporthe grisea are also reported. * Corresponding author.

Notes

Botrytis cinerea AEM 211 was cultured on a malt extract medium, without shaking, at 24 °C for 14 days in the dark. The metabolites in the culture filtrate were extracted with ethyl acetate and separated into neutral and acidic fractions. The acidic fraction was purified by chromatographic separations to afford three anisaldehyde-positive compounds (5, 6, and 13) in respective yields of 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 mg/L. Compound 5 was isolated as an amorphous solid. The molecular formula of C20H32O7 was established by HRFABMS and 13C NMR data, requiring five degrees of unsaturation. The 13C NMR spectrum of 5 in CD3OD displayed 20 carbon resonances: five owing to methyls, three to methylenes, seven to sp3 methines (five of which were oxygenated), two to sp2 methines, one to an oxygenated quaternary carbon, and two to carbonyl carbons. The 1H NMR spectrum of 5 in CDCl3 was very similar to that of botcinin A (1), indicating that 5 was a botcinin A analogue. Two resonances at δC 20.6 and 170.1 due to the acetoxyl in the 13C NMR spectrum of 1 and a resonance at δH 2.12 due to the acetyl methyl protons in the 1H NMR spectrum of 1 disappeared in the 13C and 1H NMR spectra of 5, respectively. Moreover, a resonance at δH 5.40 due to the oxygenated methine proton H-3 of 1 shifted upfield to δH 4.14 in the 1H NMR spectrum of 5. These data indicated that 5 was a deacetyl derivative of 1. To confirm the presumption, 5 was acetylated using acetic anhydride and pyridine, affording diacetyl derivative (5a), which was identical in all respects to the compound obtained by acetylation of 1.19 Thus 5 was identified as 3-Odeacetylbotcinin A, and the absolute stereochemistry was assigned as 2R, 3S, 4R, 5S, 6R, 7R, 8S, 4′S on the basis of the absolute configuration of botcinin A.19 3-O-Deacetylbotcinin A (5) was named botcinin E. Compound 6 was obtained as an amorphous solid. The molecular formula of C20H32O7 was the same as that of 5. The 13C NMR spectral data of 6 were very similar to those of 5 except for some differences in chemical shifts. In the NOE experiments, irradiation of H-5 produced NOE enhancement of the H-3 and H-7 resonances, irradiation of the 4-methyl protons caused NOE enhancement of the H-2, H-6, and H-8 resonances, and irradiation of H-6 produced NOE enhancement of the H-8 resonance, indicating that 6 is the C-2 epimer of 5. From the biogenetic viewpoint, compounds 5 and 6 may be biosynthesized from the same intermediate, suggesting that 5 and 6 have the same absolute configurations except for C-2. Thus, 6 was determined to be 3-O-deacetyl-2-epi-botcinin A and was named botcinin F. The molecular formula of 13 (C20H34O8) was obtained by HRFABMS and 13C NMR data. The spectroscopic data were completely identical to those reported for botcinolide (7).15,16 Since the optical rotation of botcinolide had not been reported, it was measured and found to be identical with that of 13, indicating that botcinolide and 13 were identical. In the course of our purification, the behavior of 13 was not consistent with expected properties for the reported structure. For example, a remarkable tailing of the peak of 13 was produced when analyzed by HPLC without addition of acetic acid to the solvent, suggesting the existence of an acidic function. Furthermore, treatment of 13 with diazomethane gave a monomethyl ester derivative (13a), whose 1H NMR spectrum showed a new methoxy resonance at δΗ 3.65 (3H, s), providing evidence for the presence of a carboxyl group. Thus, the earlier reported structure of botcinolide was not correct and its structure should be revised. The molecular formula of 13 had one more H2O than that of botcinin E (5). The 1H-1H COSY of 13 revealed the three spin systems of -C(2)CH3-C(3)H-, -C(5)H-C(6)HCH3C(7)H-C(8)HCH3-, and the acyl portion, which are the same as in botcinin E. If one allows for the existence of a carboxyl group, compound 13 would be a seco acid of botcinin E. The 13C NMR spectrum of 13, including DEPT, is similar to that of 5, except for the chemical shifts of the resonances of C-1, C-4, C-5, and C-6. In the 13C NMR spectrum of 13, C-1, C-4, C-5, and C-6 resonances

are observed 2.8 ppm downfield, 1.9 ppm downfield, 7.2 ppm upfield, and 2.5 ppm downfield, respectively, compared to that of 5. These shifts are due to the disappearance of the lactone ring. To verify this speculation, we treated 13 with acetic anhydride and pyridine to afford an acetylated and lactonized product, which was identical in all respects to 5a. Thus the structure of botcinolide was revised from 7 to 13, and the absolute configuration was assigned as 2R, 3S, 4S, 5S, 6S, 7R, 8S, 4′S. The name botcinolide is associated with the lactone, and thus botcinolide is renamed botcinic acid. Although botcinins E (5) and F (6) are neutral metabolites, they were isolated from the acidic fraction together with botcinic acid (13), the seco acid of botcinin E, as described above. In addition, although neutral polar substances could be found in the acidic fraction by the present extraction procedure, the polarities of botcinins E and F are not high enough that they can be separated into the acidic fraction. This suggests that they exist as an equilibrium mixture of seco acid and lactone in the culture filtrate and that lactonization of a part of the seco acid in the acidic fraction occurs during extraction and purification. Thus, the seco acid of botcinin F is probably present somewhere in the acidic fraction of this fungus. The 1H and 13C NMR data in CDCl3 for botcinin E (5) were almost identical to those reported for 2-epibotcinolide (11)18 in the same solvent except for three 13C and one 1H resonance. The resonance at δC 77.2 in the reported data could not be distinguished from the resonances of CDCl3 in our spectrum. Two resonances at δC 174.0 and 165.8 in our spectrum have been reported at δC 173.2 and 170.1, respectively. The latter chemical shift δC 170.1 for C-1′ may be mistaken because it should be observed around 166 ppm. The resonace at δH 7.02 in our data corresponded with the resonance at δH 7.91 in the reported data, whose chemical shift may be typed incorrectly. Further investigation is needed before identifying 2-epibotcinolide to be the same as botcinin E. Thus, the structures of 4-O-methylbotcinolide18 and 3-O-acetyl2-epibotcinolide18 should be revised. 4-O-Methylbotcinolide (9) must be a methyl ester of botcinic acid (13a) because C-4 and the oxygen atom attached to C-4 were a part of the tetrahydropyrane ring in the corrected structure of botcinolide. The reported 1H NMR data for 4-O-methylbotcinolide in C6D6 were identical to those of 13a in the same solvent. Thus, the structure of 4-O-methylbotcinolide is revised from 9 to 13a. In the course of reinvestigation we found the NMR data for 3-O-acetyl-2-epibotcinolide (12) to be completely identical to those of botcinin A (1). Therefore, the structure of 3-O-acetyl-2-epibotcinolide is revised from 12 to 1. The structures of the other botcinolide analogues are also discussed below. The 1H NMR data for 3-O-acetyl-5-O-methylbotcinolide (10)18 in CDCl3 are very similar to those for 13a in the same solvent. A new resonance due to acetyl methyl protons appears in the 1H NMR spectrum of 3-O-acetyl-5-O-methylbotcinolide, and a resonance due to the methine proton (H-3) attached to the acetoxyl shifts downfield from the 1H NMR spectrum of 13a. Thus the structure of 3-O-acetyl-5-O-methylbotcinolide should be revised from 10 to 14. Compound 14 is a methyl ester of 3-O-acetyl botcinic acid. Homobotcinolide17 differs from 7 only in the length of the fatty acyl portion. Hence, the structure of homobotcinolide should be revised from 8 to 15, and homobotcinolide is renamed botcineric acid. In an antifungal assay, compounds 5, 6, and 13 showed weak antifungal activity, all with MICs of 100 µM, against Magnaporthe grisea. Botcinins B (2) and D (4) were the most active (both with MIC 12.5 µM) among the compounds tested so far. Experimental Section General Experimental Procedures.

JNM-ECP 500 spectrometer. Chemical shifts were referenced to CDCl3 (δH 7.26, δC 77.0) and CD3OD (δC 49.0). Mass spectra were obtained with a JEOL AX505HA spectrometer (direct probe). p-Nitrobenzyl alcohol was the matrix used for FABMS. In EIMS, the ionization voltage was 70 eV. In CIMS, the reaction gas was isobutane. HPLC was carried out with a Cosmosil 5C18-AR column (Nacalai Tesque, 10 × 250 mm), a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, and detection at 220 nm. Merck Kieselgel 60 F254 was used for the TLC. The spots on TLC plates were detected by spraying anisaldehyde-sulfuric acid reagent on the plate and heating it at 110 °C for 20 min. The spray reagent was prepared freshly before use by adding 1 mL of concentrated H2SO4 to a solution of 0.5 mL of p-anisaldehyde in 50 mL of acetic acid. Fermentation and Extraction. The fungus19 was grown without shaking at 24 °C for 14 days in the dark in 500 mL conical flasks (50) containing liquid medium (200 mL/flask) composed of glucose (30 g/L), peptone (3 g/L), the extract from 50 g/L of malt, and H2O. Metabolites were extracted from the culture filtrate with EtOAc (3 × 10 L) after adjusting the pH to 2.0 with 6 M HCl. The EtOAc solution was extracted with 1 M NaHCO3 (2 × 0.5 volume). The NaHCO3 solution was acidified to pH 2.0 with 6 M HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc solution was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness to give a residue (5.2 g). Isolation. The residue was subjected to silica gel partition column chromatography (100 g; impregnated with 60 mL of 0.1 M HCO2H; 32 × 250 mm), with 1000 mL (200 mL × 5) each of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60% EtOAc in n-hexane saturated with 0.1 M HCO2H as eluent. The second fraction of 20% EtOAc in n-hexane was purified by silica gel column chromatography (22 × 105 mm). Elution was performed with 200 mL (40 mL × 5) each of 20, 30, and 40% acetone in n-hexane. The fourth and fifth fractions of 20% acetone in n-hexane were combined and further purified by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography (28 × 800 mm) with MeOH as the solvent. Fractions 20-23 were purified by reversed-phase HPLC (60% MeOH) to yield compounds 5 and 6 (0.4 and 0.5 mg/L, tR 50 and 55 min, respectively). The second fraction of 30% EtOAc in n-hexane was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (16 × 100 mm), with 400 mL (80 mL × 5) each of 20, 30, and 40% acetone in n-hexane as eluent. The third fraction of 30% acetone in n-hexane was purified by reversed-phase HPLC (70% MeOH in 1% AcOH) to yield compound 13 (0.6 mg/L, tR 22 min).
